Transcriptions made easy
The Sony ICD-PX312D, with its included Dragon Naturally Speaking® software, removes the drudgery of taking notes or transcribing audio. Record the speech, lecture, or event with the PX312D voice recorder and transfer the resulting MP3 to your computer. The included software helps you transcribe recorded content into text documents  great for students, reporters, secretaries, and others who need to translate speech into printed words.

All the memory you need
Make voice recordings on the go without worrying about running out of memory. This digital recorder has two gigabytes of built-in memory  enough for over three weeks of basic-quality recordings. But if that's not enough, just insert a microSD card into the player for more storage.

Easy on-the-go recording
Choose either manual or automatic audio level settings, to adjust to different recording conditions. The voice-activated mode lets you make convenient, hands-free recordings. And the intelligent noise cut feature helps improve recordings made under less-than-ideal circumstances.

Use the built-in speaker for playback, or plug your headphones into the minijack for more discreet listening.

Edit in the field or at home
The ICD-PX312D also lets you do basic editing on the go. You can flip back and forth between two tracks to compare them, change the pitch, divide a track, or add to it  or simply overwrite what's there to free up space.

Product Research

Overview: The Sony ICD-PX312D
Digital Voice Recorder provides high-quality recording for music, meetings, or lectures through its built-in microphone (or optional external
microphone) and integrated 2GB flash memory. The Sony Digital Voice Recorder
features MP3 recording and up to 536 hours of recording
capacity (8 kbps, Mono). Featuring Dragon NaturallySpeaking Voice to Print Speech
Recognition software, the ICD-PX312D digital voice recorder is a great office
assistant. You can easily translate all of your recordings from voice to print
with a few clicks of a button.

Display Features

LCD Display: The Sony ICD-PX312D features a full-dot,
monochrome LCD display which indicates recording and playback information. The
recorder will display the remaining recording time in hours, minutes, and
seconds.

Multiple Language Display: You can select the language used
in the display for messages, menus, folder names, file names, etc.: English,
French, and Spanish.

Date and Time: The recorder features a built-in clock that
displays date and time on the unit's LCD screen. If you have set the time and
date, information as to when a sound file was recorded is stored automatically
with that file. In addition, you can set an alarm and start playback of a
selected file on a specified date, once every week, or at the same time every
day.

Recording Functions

Built-in Microphone: The ICD-PX312D features a built-in microphone
on the top of the recorder. In addition to the built-in microphone, the
recorder also has a 3.5mm external microphone input.

Built-In 2GB Flash Memory: The ICD-PX312D Digital Voice
Recorder features a built-in 2GB flash memory which can hold hours of audio or
voice memos. The unit can recognize up to 400 folders, and up to 199 files per
folder (or a total of 4,095 folders and files for one memory media). Because a
portion of the memory is used for system management and/or application files,
available capacity is approximately 1.8 GB.

External Media: In addition to the built-in memory, the
PX312D has a slot for a Memory Stick Micro (M2) up to 16 GB, or a microSD card
(microSD smaller than 2 GB or microSDHC from 4 GB to 32 GB).

Low-Cut Filter: When you set the LCF (Low-Cut Filter)
function to "On", the digital voice recorder cuts out frequencies lower than
200Hz to reduce the roaring noise from wind. This helps to record a sound source
more clearly outdoors.

Noise Cut: This function reduces
the distortion of very low and high frequencies which are outside the human
voice range, allowing you to hear the human voice more clearly.

Auxiliary Input: The digital voice recorder's microphone jack also acts as an auxiliary input so
you can connect a portable music player to the ICD-PX312D and record audio.

Edit Functions

Divide: In the stop mode, you can divide a file into two
parts, with the new file number being added to the newer part of the divided
file.

Overwrite and Add Functions: The ICD-PX312D allows you to
correct dictation in playback and add a recording after the original recording.
Added recording will be placed after the current file, and will be counted as a
part of the file.

Track Mark: You can add a track mark at a point in a file
and use it during playback. You can add up to 98 bookmarks to each file.

Move Files: You can move a file from one folder to another
folder, or copy files between the built-in memory and the memory card in either
direction.

Erase: You can erase your recorded
messages one by one, or all message in a folder at time.

Protect Files: To prevent a file from being accidentally
erased or edited, you can protect an important file. When a file is protected,
it is regarded as a read-only file. Protection can be released, if desired.

Playback Functions

Built-In Speaker and Headphones:
The ICD-PX312D features a built-in speaker so you can listen back to your
recordings. The digital voice recorder also features a 3.5mm headphone output
and comes with a pair of earbud-style headphones for private listening.

Easy Search: You can go forward for
approximately 10 seconds or back for approximately 3 seconds to locate a desired
point in a long recording.

Digital Pitch Control: The Digital
Pitch Control allows you to adjust the playback speed of your recording. The
playback speed can be decreased from 0.5x to 1x, or increased from 1x to 2x. The recording is still played back in a natural tone using
digital processing.
